For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes the most economical way to extract the coal is to stripmine the site. The company is required by environmental regulations to restore the land after it has extracted the coal to a condition suitable for recreational use and—given the intended mining method—estimates restoration costs to be $6 million. Ross Adams’s mining engineers estimate that the site contains 4 million tons of recoverable coal and that it will take approximately four years to complete mining activities. Once restored, the estimated value of the land amounts to $1 million. Ross Adams Mining’s credit-adjusted risk free interest rate is 7%. Required: What should be the depletion rate per ton of coal extracted from this mine? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

Grey Mining Company has purchased a tract of mineral land for $1,200,000. It is estimated that this tract will yield 80,000 tons of ore with sufficient mineral content to make mining and processing profitable. It is further estimated that 4,000 tons of ore will be mined the first and last year and 8,000 tons every year in between. (Assume 11 years of mining operations.) The land will have a residual value of $80,000.  The company builds necessary structures and sheds on the site at a cost of $134,000. It is estimated that these structures can serve 16 years but, because they must be dismantled if they are to be moved, they have no salvage value. The company does not intend to use the buildings elsewhere. Mining machinery installed at the mine was purchased at a cost of $150,000. Grey Mining estimates that about half of this machinery will still be useful when the present mineral resources have been exhausted but that dismantling and removal costs will just about offset its value at…

Company I purchased a piece of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. The land is expected to have a salvage value of $250,000. A lumber expert visited the property and estimated the property to have 500,000 pounds of timber. The first year, the company logged 350,000 pounds of timber, and the second year, another 250,000 pounds of timber were logged. Calculate the depletion expense rate AND calculate the depletion expense the company should recognize in Year 1 and Year 2:

Shelton Company purchased a parcel of land six years ago for $869,500. At that time, the firm invested $141,000 in grading the site so that it would be usable. Since the firm wasn't ready to use the site itself at that time, it decided to lease the land for $52,000 a year. The company is now considering building a warehouse on the site as the rental lease is expiring. The current value of the land is $921,000. What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land? Multiple Choice A. $1,010,500 B. $869,500 C. $1,062,000 D. $921,000 E. SO

In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,740,000. Additional costs of $676,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $116,000. To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $184,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $96,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $4,000 after the mining project is completed. In 2021, 60,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 400,000 to 451,000. During 2022, 96,000 tons were extracted. Required: 1.

Using the information in the following table , what is the depreciation expense per year created by the project? Dunaway Industries is evaluating the idea of expanding their production facility in Cobb County The CFO gathered the following data. Dunaway Industries spent $ 500,000 researching other sites for their expansion. The equipment needed for the expansion will cost $ 25,600,000 fully installed . The equipment will be depreciated over 20 years to a salvage value of $ 1,000,000 . Dunaway Industries uses straight -line depreciation . If Dunaway accepts the project , the company will sell the equipment for salvage value ( i.e.$ 1,000,000 ) at the end of the life of the project .

Tree Lovers Inc. purchased 100 acres of woodland in which the company intends to harvest the complete forest, leaving the land barren and worthless. Tree Lovers paid $3,000,000 for the land. Tree Lovers will sell the lumber as it is harvested and expects to deplete it over five years (23 acres in year one, 30 acres in year two, 24 acres in year three, 10 acres in year four, and 13 acres in year five).

On April 23, 2021, Phillip Mining entered into an agreement with the state of California to obtain the rights to operate a mineral mine in California for $12 million. Additional costs and purchases included the following:   Preparation of site for excavation $ 4,800,000 Mining equipment 360,000 Construction of various structures on site 240,000                                                                           8After the minerals are removed from the mine, the equipment will be sold for an estimated residual value of $60,000. The structures will be torn down. The mine is expected to produce 1,400,000 tons of ore. After the ore is removed, the land will revert back to the state of California. During 2021, Philips extracted 210,000 tons of ore from the mine. What total amount would be charged to depletion of the mine and depreciation of the mining equipment and structures for 2021, assuming that Phillip uses the units-of-production method for both depletion and depreciation?…
